Thought I'd sell some caps since there's no importer of them in my country.
>>53668688
Nope, but since you brought it up maybe you got some tales to share?
>>53668532
I can't believe that someone would do this to their pok3r. Why the fuck did you do this?
>>53668771
For fun, why else? Got bored of the stock caps and white leds, this seems so much comfier.
>>53668804
It looks like shit though. What is that fucking case? I guess I shouldn't expect much more from someone who got a back lit pok3r.
>>53668853
The picture doesn't do the lighting much justice, having orange Firewatch backgrounds match the actual orangeness of the keyboard makes it look super nice in my opinion.
They keyboard is caseless, there's a small machined piece of rubber underneath it with holes to make it sit flush on it.
It's actually the Poker II (PCB says Poker Pro K61A), and was sold as the Ducky Mini here in Finland, not many 60%'s available here and importing means +25% VAT, prices are stupid high.

just got my ergodox in today, typing on it now, pretty sweet. Got brown switches, which some people hate on, but it's a good switch for an office setting. come in with stiff clickers and people will literally complain about the noise.
>>53670750
>The only alternative to browns are blues or greens
>>53670778
I guess I should specify that these aren't Cherry browns, but Gateron browns. They feel pretty nice to me. The options for this particular product (Ergodox EZ) were black (loud), blue (loud), green (loud), red (no tactile), or yellow (no idea how yellows are), so brown it was. no regrets.

clears are what I imagined mechanical keyboards would feel like
>>53670986
it comes with the grey caps
the 'red' caps are from elite keyboards
well they say red but they're more like, idk, watermelon colored
Do they make blanks that light up evenly? I like the way these blanks look in general, but on top of the Poker's LEDs it honestly looks disgusting. Maybe it's more of diffusing the LEDs properly than the caps themselves.

>>53673658
Topre are rubberdomes
>>53673658
>How do Topres compare to Cherry switches?
They don't.
Neither is better than the other, but they feel so entirely different from one another that you can't really compare them.
Topre feels like a rubberdome (alas, is one), but a really nice and snappy one.
does this mean my keycaps are finally in the uk?
>>53675085
It feels like a fresh, virgin, high-quality rubber dome before the rubber cups start to wear out.
Unlike rubber dome, the cups on the topre eon't wesr out.
>>53673658
Topre are Logitech rubberdomes with a spring in it. Only problem is, it's overpriced.

What this man says >>53678464
>>53667843
who /ergodox/ here? Going to buy one next month. Does a better ergonomic keyboard even exist? I mean - without being a gynormous behemoth like the kinesis contour one...
Also - best tactile switches? Never used an actual mechanic keyboard, but bought myself a tester yesterday and tried all of the most common cherry MX switches. The ones I liked the most were clears and browns, though in the last ones the bump was almost non-existant
>>53678639
Switches are a matter of preference, but seeing that you preferred clears over browns, I'd strongly suggest you go with those.
So I 'upgraded' my Logitech G15 to a mechanical Cherry browns keyboard. I am having trouble with it though because I am not a touch typist (I hunt and peck and don't use all my fingers) and I keep hitting the fucking caps lock key like a retard! Maybe it's time to learn to touch type.
>>53678652
probably I will. The reason I asked for the alternative is that falbatech.pl has got only a couple of those switches I know nothing about, such as gaterons and greentech
>>53678639
>Does a better ergonomic keyboard even exist?
Like a lot of things, this is subjective. A bunch of people complain about the dox's thumb cluster being in an awkward position, for example. Generally, the vanilla ergodox is missing out on some negative tilt and tenting, and a curved profile would probably be even better. The Dactyl keyboard is a curved, 3D-printed thing that exists.
>Also - best tactile switches?
Topre or Alps. If I may go all my-opinion-is-fact, fuck cherryshit.
>>53678725
Gaterons are nice (mostly because they're smoother, which is mostly noticeable on linears).
>>53678721
touch type is worth the time you spend on it, believe me. The last year I was hunt'n'pecking too, but then I learnt to touchtype, and it's awesome. No need to look at your keyboard anymore while typing and shit saves you a lot of time. I'd pick an alternative layout, though, if I were you - qwerty is destructive on wrists.

Left shift is not a key worth splitting. That would be backspace or right shift. The ISO enter is harder to reach, which I don't know why you think is a good thing.

ISO enter is farther away from the home row. This is an objective measurement.
>>53684978
it covers two rows. It's easier to hit
>Muh homerow
Never met anyone who actually uses the asdf hjkl finger-spacing. serf huil is the comfiest way, and those rows are covered by the ISO enter.
>>53684978
>>53685007
awef hio; is the 2nd comfiest spacing, for big hands. asdf hjkl / the homing meme is retarded and thus no-one uses it

I am absolutely floored.
>>53684940
No memes, I actually have keyboards of both types and like theme. BROWN, BLUE, GREEN, CLEAR, etc, they're all shit bro.
So this showed up today. It is very loud, but feels really nice to type on. One thing an earlier review mentioned was that it does not save setting for the lighting, but on this one it does.
It also came with an OTG cable and this silly thing works on my phone.
Holy FUCK is it loud
>>53685052
Thus, an enter on both rows used for homing makes more sense
>>53685100
I'm scared that this apparently makes sense to you.

Enter is further away.
Left shift is further away.
It is less efficient.
>>53685127

For anyone not finger accuracy challenged, it makes more sense to put it 1u closer.
>>53685182
Yeah I'm sure you use the \| key more than the fucking shift, and the #~ key more than enter. Why not just put 100 keys in the alphanumeric area while putting the important ones further away? Obviously efficiency doesn't matter here.
>>53685182
Also if you want more keys, you break up the needlessly huge right shift, not the easy-to-hit left shift.

This
Left shift holds no purpous except when holding it down - easy to do when typing. Right shift is held down when doing punctuation above it. It makes sense to have a big right shift and a clear open area for punctuation, not interupted by a 2.75u enter
>>53685306
>2.75u enter
?
>>53685296
It covers 5 whole keycaps and 2 halves. I think it's 6u
>>53685327
Was thinking about sizing of right shift, oops. It's 2.25u
>>53685272
>1u doesn't make a difference
1u is the difference between being able to comfortably hit left shift+z with pinky/s with ring/etc.
Having to move your pinky less is a big deal when it's already the smallest finger on your hand, and the ring finger next to it isn't particularly big either.
>>53685306
>Wants clear area for punctuation
>Moves \| out of said area
?
>>53685331
Nah, 3/4 of the comma. I looked it up.
>>53685352
Oh. Anyway, you hold down left shift with your left hand and type a right-side punctuation with your right.
>>53685380
>>53685331
what is one u? 3/4"?
>>53685368
Completely unused punctuation, get it outta here!
I don't think I've ever used left shift except for gayms, I always use my right pink on right shift with my ring on enter and index/middle on punctuation when capitalising/punctuating
faster than ANSI, I've used both
>>53685380
>Not using right thumb and index finger for punctuation whilst continuing to type with left hand
>>53685430
1u = 1 standard keycap, i.e q cap or g cap
>>53685380
>3/4 of comma
that would make it 5.75u
>>53685434
It's only efficient to use right shift on ISO because it's the same distance from home row as the left shift.
On ANSI it's closer so it's more efficient.
>faster than ANSI, I've used both
>Use primarly ISO, hurr why am I better at typing on ISO
>>53685452
>1u = 1 standard keycap, i.e q cap or g cap

>americans tell me ANSI is quicker when they've only used ANSI
ISO is more efficient. Important punctuation in one area, slightly less important on number row and completely unused barged next to left shift so it is a proper size
>>53685499
Dunno, but it's the same on every keyboard. It just is a measurement, No matter what board on what switch 1u = 1u
>>53685499
19mm, yes. Or 2.25 barleycorn, if you're a Hamburglar.
>>53685525

Well, there's the preference of preferring ANSI and the incorrect opinion of thinking ISO is stupid and pointless.
Whilst it falls down to preference, ISO enter > ANSI enter any day, and ISO left shift > ANSI left shift any day. Maybe thats because of how I type, I dunno

no most species would not let a beta breed. gotta keep that garbage out of the gene pool. if you were functioning properly you would still want a 10/10 for the most healthy offspring. your personal comprimises are not your "genes" talking.

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases.

At least when I read it, it said "mechanical keyboards", not "cherry keyboards".

Wew lads- absolutely top notch posting.
>>53688186
Well, when I read it, it says Cherry MX.
>>53688195
What do you think about the Model F reproduction project?

The image, yes, but not the thread. Thus, shit guide for the thread.

Ruining the comeback of good typing technology with 'muh nostalgia' and 'muh vintage'.

Right, which is what I was saying.
>shit guide for the thread.
Let's not pretend that Cherry MX switches, for all their faults, aren't far and away the most popular switch here and amongst mechanical keyboard users at large. I think it's fine to have an image that just discusses the different varieties of this line. I don't think anyone's pretending that other technologies don't exist.

Does /g/ actually qualify for needing a mechanical keyboard?
My record is ~130 WPM, but I usually score somewhere in the 110s.
>>53688374
>Does /g/ actually qualify for needing a mechanical keyboard?

No one needs this shit, it's just nice to use.
>>53688376
>No one needs this shit
Not true. When touch-typing, you generally type appreciably slower on rubber-dome keyboards since you need to take the time to ensure that the key has truly activated.
>>53688374
I'm probably in the 80s.. But I enjoy having shit I can rely on
>>53688349
Nearly every buckling spring keyboard I can find looks straight out of your fathers piss stained attic because that's what the 1337 ebin xxxtreem hackers want while they argue about cartoon child porn online. So that's what gets made. Clones of the old stuff or the same aesthetic to really rake in those old school memer points.
>>53688374
>qualify
Nice elitism for your dead skill. Keyboard choice is about typing quality, not speed.
>>53688459
>Clones of the old stuff or the same aesthetic to really rake in those old school memer points.
So are you just complaining about the case design? A more compact, modern case is going to be made as well.
>>53688459
>Keyboard choice is about typing quality, not speed.
Not that you can't choose a mechanical keyboard for quality even if you're a slow typist, but that doesn't mean you don't need it when you're not a slow typist.
>>53688374
I range between 60 and 70 without mistakes. When actually typing I type far slower because I am one of those 1st draft douchebags.
>>53688491
"Yes"
When I find one that doesn't look like dogdick I will likely buy it. But what I really want is whatever OPTIA uses in their workstations. Literally the best keyboard I have ever used.
>>53688580
>When I find one that doesn't look like dogdick
What is "dogdick", though? Do there even exist "modern" keyboard designs that don't instead of look like blue-led-chink-crap, like pic related?
>>53688580
>When I find one that doesn't look like dogdick I will likely buy it.
So would an Al case like this be sufficiently lacking in dogs' dicks?
>But what I really want is whatever OPTIA uses in their workstations.
This some kind of battlefield computer? When did you use this?
>>53688650
Something that appeals to my utterly subjective and illogical taste.
I really enjoy the look of the HHKB
>>53688662
That chassis looks like the most unergonomic thing I've ever seen.
>>53688683
Usually the case isn't a defining feature of a keyboard's ergonomic quality.
>>53688580
>When actually typing I type far slower because I am one of those 1st draft douchebags.
That's actually fine. Typing fast still matters even if you only spend 10% of your time "actively typing", since it tends to make one less hesitant about correcting mistakes or otherwise editing the text/program when it requires less effort.
>>53688693
The huge height at the front and the backward angle of the front keys are created by the case, though.
>>53688151
>>53688230
Hi, I created the guide you're bashing. It was never intended to be a guide to all switches.
That's something I'm working on. I know /mkg/ desperately needs something more up to date than >>53688167 and with more switch brands.
>>53688662
>When did you use this?
I was in the Army and we used what is called the DTSS (Digital Topographic Support System)
Basically it's a few plotters, a switch, one of those OPTIA monsters, some RAIDs, two T60's and several yearly salaries worth of software dongles.
The other kind I used was crammed in the back of a humvee. Here is a picture similar to what we used (since taking my own pictures was illegal as fuck back then).
>>53688740
Oh, I wasn't bashing the guide itself; it's a fine guide to Cherry switches. I was just bashing its use as the "switch" guide for /mkg/.
>>53688717
No, that's created by the curved plate, which all IBM buckling springs have. The BS mechanism has a certain inherent height to it, as well.
>>53688767
Interesting. Have any inkling what the keyboard mechanism was? Not just some kind of very nice scissor switch?
>>53688841
All I know is that it was noisy as hell and had a tiny, TINY actuation distance. I could gently caress the keys and they would type.
>>53688841
>No, that's created by the curved plate, which all IBM buckling springs have.
Of course, but on a real keyboard, the curved plate is tilted so that the front keys aren't angled away from you.
>>53688871
Sounds like you want a keyboard with scissor keys, then. Like pic related.
God I just want it already.
>>53688885
And that's poor ergonomics, really. Negative tilt is better.
>>53688682
The HHKB is okay, I guess, but I do think it looks a bit retarded with the complete lack of margins. I also like front margin of a keyboard to rest my thumbs on when idle.
>>53667843
is the cm novatouch topre key a good representative of what a hhkb or a realforce key feels like?
i just got the cm switch tester with the topre cherry slider switch and i like how it feels but i was thinking of getting like the leopold fc660c but i heard that the cm switch feels different from the non cherry slider topre switch
>>53688916
I've never seen a real keyboard with negative tilt. Do they even exist?
>>53688907
>That enter key
How do eurokeks type on apple keyboards?
>>53688907
ive used that exact keyboard and they are nothing alike
>>53688979
All Euro keyboard look like that, not just Apple ones. It's really quite convenient with a vertically large Enter key.
>>53689001
Except normally the ISO enter is 1.5u on the wide part, 1.25u on the short part.
Apple's is .5u and .75u.
>>53688957
I've seen certain ergonomic boards that let you prop them up appropriately. Then there's curved stuff like the Kinesis Advantage. Either that or people get keyboard trays that let you do negative tilt.
>>53689014
Ah, you meant that. Sure. Apple probably sucks as usual. I just found the image on Google.
>>53688374
my average is 60 but if i get in the zone i get to like 70 and 80 sometimes
>>53689022
Why would you want that? You'd have to hold your hands like a decimeter above the desk.
>>53689061
You don't have a keyboard on top of a desk if you care at all about ergonomics. You get a keyboard tray.
>>53689093
You have to be kidding. The only use for a keyboard tray is for those who want to get the keyboard out of the way when they're not actively using it.
I regret getting a keyboard with red switches
>>53689223
at least you learned your lesson.
>>53688953
The switch tester should give you a good idea of how Topre switches feel, but doesn't tell you what difference the plate and case makes. The sliders shouldn't make much difference.
The Novatouch's internals are Topre, even the PCB. However, the design is slightly less sturdy than something like a Realforce.
The HHKB has a plastic plate which creates less noise than a metal one.
The Leopold FC660C is a lot heavier than it looks because of an extra sturdy design.
>>53689223
Why?
I have a Corsair Strafe with reds that makes typing and gaming a dream.
how do you feel about cute keyboards?
